Video just went live courtesy of Digital Foundry's John Linneman.
A quick summary if you're unable to watch right now:
-Latency free controls in portable mode versus variable latency depending on your TV set or monitor
-Game renders in native 1080p in docked mode at a rock solid 60fps
-In handheld mode, Thumper renders at a native 720p on Switch's display
-Features some of the best antialiasing ever seen on Switch to date
-Draw distance and LOD identical to the PS4 version
-However, like the PS VR version, motion blur and chromatic aberration have been axed on Switch. Still, John didn't notice they were missing at all until he loaded it up on PS4 for comparison. But he also noted that these missing effects work well with the game's art direction, which leaves the Switch version looking plainer.
-There are minor differences in shading, possibly due to Drool creating a brand new shader just for the Switch version.
